Fate looked up at the many stars while laying back on his favorite stargazing tree. He would sit there for hours, just staring up at the beautiful galaxy and wade in his many thoughts. Most of the Wyverns were asleep at this time. But not Fate. He loved the night time. He adjusted his position against the tree and got into a more comfortable position. He put his front claws over his stomach and his tail laid over his back legs. He breathed in the clear mountain air. Fate started to shiver slightly from the coldness around him. He grabbed the blanket that was next to him and spread it over his body. Much better. The animals and crickets in the background was soothing to him as he stared up at the sky. It created a sort of melody in it's own way. He loved it out here.

High in the sky, Neru drifted peacefully along, allowing the updrafts that often rose from the mountain peaks to do the work of keeping her in the air. It was late; late enough that even see was aware that she should probably sleep soon if she didn't want to be awoken by hatchlings bouncing on her before she was ready to open her eyes. Diurnal creatures... Neru mused, only halfway irritated. She did love her tribe, but the sleeping habits of nearly every creature but her got to be irritating at times. At least it assured that, even if everybody else was sleeping, she was awake for a nighttime border patrol. Given the number of rogues that seemed to crawl around the Etcan range lately, it was vital that the patrols were taken seriously. They didn't need any midnight ambushes. Her ear flaps pinned back at the thought, and she turned her gaze to the ground, combing carefully for any sign of movement below.

A flash of purple caught her eye, and she immediately turned into a spiral, double checking the creature. Thankfully, the starry pattern told her nearly immediately who it was. Smiling, she let out a short squawk of greeting to Fate, wiggling her foot in a sort of wave.

Fate saw a wyvern that almost completely blended in with the night sky above him, but he saw that it was Neru. She smiled and waved at him. He liked Neru. Not in a romantic kind of way, but she was always nice to him and seemed to be like him. She was also a great leader for the tribe, too. He was just happy that the other Nebula Wyvern remembered him with a whole tribe in front of her.

Fate took the flannel blanket off of him and put it against the tree before leaping in the air to meet the female. "Hi, Neru," he said, dipping his head in a respectful manner and smiled at her. He didn't have many friends these days and longed for someone to talk to. Most of the rest of the tribe seemed less extroverted and friendly and kept to themselves more. "Beautiful, isn't it?" he said, gesturing to the stars with his head.

Fate's sudden movement alerted Neru to the fact that he planned to join her in the sky. Wanting to give him a moment to get to her, she lessened her speed, turning in a light circle until the purple wyvern had reached her side, blending easily into the backdrop of the night sky, just as she was sure she was.

"Hiya!" she replied, her ear flaps perking up along with her head, giving the movement a much happier context. Neru's gaze followed his gesture to the stars, and for a moment, she was caught, her only movement the steady flap of her wings to keep her upright. It was always hard to not look at the stars when they were there, almost asking her to gaze at them endlessly. The darn things were the culprit for many a night's worth of lost sleep. "As beautiful as always," she agreed. "I came out here to patrol, but it's always hard not to watch the stars."

Fate was even more happy when Neru's ear flaps perked up, meaning she was happy to see him. He agreed to her next words. "Yes, they are quite mesmerizing. You said you are out to patrol. Would you like some company?" he asked, desperately hoping she would say yes. Fate got quite lonely a lot and really enjoyed being around Neru, for she was like him in both appearance and personality. He just hoped that he wasn't being a bother to Neru, for that was the least thing he wanted to do, especially since she was leader of the Vuari.

Tearing her eyes from the sky, Neru turned her gaze back to Fate. "I'd love company!" she replied. "It's not often I get to be around you anyway; it'll be nice to catch up." Flicking her tail lightly in a 'follow me' motion, she wheeled about, continuing on the route she'd been on before. It was a simple one, just a quick fly-about of the most important mountains in the area. In other words, the ones that the bulk of the tribe resided on. Of course, most were on Dufourspitz, but she always tended to include Kikiriki and Oblique to be safe. Plus, it wouldn't do to leave Kuwan unprotected while they didn't have a Sage staying there."Have you been well lately, Fate?" she asked, assuming the other wyvern had followed her.

Happiness welled up inside Fate when Neru said that she would love his company. He turned in the air and flew alongside her. "I've been pretty good," he answered. He paused a moment, wondering if he should continue with what he was going to say. He didn't want to seem like he was complaining. "... Just a bit lonely, honestly. I just kind of seem to blend in, and I don't know why. Other dragons don't really seem to take much notice of me around here." He looked down at the ground for a moment, looking over the scenery below. "That's why I'm glad when you get to talk to me, like now. You know my name and always treat me like a friend. Thank you for that," he looked over at Neru and smiled.

Neru tipped her head to the side, glancing up at the sky. "Blending in is what we're built for, no?" she asked, smiling lightly. "I do get what you're saying, however. It doesn't help that our clan is a bit less of a clan and more of a duo these days. We don't even have enough wyverns for a Mestra!" She laughed, kicking her feet out gleefully at her own joke. "If you need more people to talk to, don't be afraid to jump into conversations, Fate. Shyness never got me far as a hatchling, though my shy period was somewhat small, so I may be misunderstanding your feelings. If it's more of an introversion sort of situation you're feeling, try and find somebody with similar mindsets? I'm always going to be your friend, but one friend certainly can't last you your entire life." Movement caught her eye below and she fell silent, squinting at it to be sure it wasn't dangerous. After realizing it was a simple snow leopard, most likely out on a hunt, she relaxed.

Fate smiled as Neru joked. He then looked over to to her. "... Thank you. For always going to be my friend. I'm glad I know I'll have someone who sticks up for me." He let his wing rub against her briefly in a friendly gesture. "But it's odd, because I am not really shy, or introverted. Maybe I just need to make more of an effort."

Fate spotted the same snow leopard that Neru did, and smiled. "Wildlife is fascinating, isn't it? Especially at night. I've watched some snow leopards before while I was out at night alone, and they are very graceful and majestic creatures. Very beautiful too, I might add."

Neru shrugged her shoulders, allowing a small smile at the gesture. "Maybe so," she replied, gaze roaming over the trees, each one ruffling quietly with the wind. "You'll never know if you don't try, right?" The leopard finally went out of sight, left behind by their speed. Flight was always fast, no matter how lazy it may seem to be.

"They're a nice meal, too," she admitted. "Though it is sad killing something with that much beauty. I'll generally avoid it for a moose or something if I can help it."

"Right," Fate agreed, smiling. The leopard disappeared from their sight. "While it is necessary," he said in reply to her next words, "I don't like killing any wildlife. But I mean, I need to eat. But I do spare the leopards and some of the animals that I think look the most beautiful." The moon and the stars were shining brighter than ever at this time of night. That was the time of night he loved the most. He looked back up at the sky again and grinned, enjoying how beautiful this night was turning out to be.

Neru simply nodded in agreement to his words. "I understand where you're coming from, but I do rather like hunting, at the same time. And sadly, it seems the beautiful creatures are always the ones that give up the most fight." From there, she fell silent for a moment, unsure what to say. She was drawing close to the end of her patrol, and though she had no qualms about Fate staying out, she needed to go to her nest at some point.

"What were your plans tonight, so far off from your nest?" Neru asked, grasping at an attempt to continue conversation so she might stay awake.

Fate listened to Neru's reply and nodded, unsure of what else to do. He listened to the wind whistle past his ears for a moment, looking down at the ground. Besides the fact that Neru was a friend to him, she was a lot like him. In appearance, most obviously. Though he also really liked her personality.

"Oh, my plans? I was just sitting under that tree where you found me so that I could stargaze. Plus I wasn't tired. I find it hard to sleep a lot at night, which I am sure you could relate to," he said, looking over at Neru. "I am guessing that you were having the same problem tonight, which is why you came out to patrol?"

((I think this topic is getting close to closing up. Got a specific way you'd prefer to end it?))

Neru tipped her head to the side and nodded. Boy, could she relate. There were times where she could barely sleep at all, the call of the night was so loud. It was like a steady hum, growing louder the longer she resisted it.“Kind of?”Neru shrugged her shoulders, musing for a moment. “I did need to patrol, we always should have at least one at night. I’m simply the best candidate for it, other than yourself. It’s easier for me to pay attention, so I might as well go instead of sending somebody who’ll be so exhausted that they miss something important.”
